    I just got home. I have them downloaded and will try. It is odd that my computer is running without slowing down or anything, its almost as if I just have a corrupt windows file. I've never had a virus like this before. I will try burning them or running them from the network as neither the...

    Help picking a new HDTV monitor

    I went into the store and picked out the best looking monitor in my opinion. It was the HP2711 which I got on ebay for about 280. It is backlit and pretty nice I think. It has dvi and HDMI. I use component cables for my Wii. Does anyone know what I need to run the Wii into the monitor? I...

    Do I need to set up 2 static IPs for port forwarding 2 computers on my router

    Sorry I didn't know torrents were to not be spoken of. I mostly keep up with naruto, bleach, and new show episodes I have missed. I got in trouble years ago which prompted me to stop messing with copyrights. I love this site and will respectfully avoid the topic in the future.

    Installed 2nd SATA hard drive and now can't boot windows XP

    Yeah, I thought I read something about that... I didn't expect it to cause such a problem however. I started completely over and am now operating smoothly. My only problem is that I couldn't get the primary drive to be assigned letter C. I will accept it now that process is complete, no way...

    Installed 2nd SATA hard drive and now can't boot windows XP

    Well, I installed windows on drive B last night as I went to bed and woke up to a successfully formatted drive. I can also see drive A so I think I am good now. I'll back up all my data and reformat drive A and hopefully that will be the end of my problems.

    Installed 2nd SATA hard drive and now can't boot windows XP

    I could be wrong but I'm thinking maybe the PC is expecting certain hardware configuration and I changed it so it will not boot. I got this idea from doing some research but I'll have to learn how to use some of the recovery/repair tools. I do know how to reset CMOS so perhaps I will try that...

    Installed 2nd SATA hard drive and now can't boot windows XP

    I think it is just failing to boot for some reason. I triple checked the hard drive boot order, tried booting both drives (since they are the same model), and removed each of them and tried booting without the other; same thing every time.

    Installed 2nd SATA hard drive and now can't boot windows XP

    Well I tried taking the new hard drive out of the picture (Which is blank and I will refer to a B from now on). So A is is in there by itself with window on it, and my data. Could I install windows on hard drive B and copy over the data from hard drive A? What about a windows repair on A in...

    Switching out bad MOBO and PSU and hitting problems

    Not sure what I did wrong but it was only booting from the disc so I backed up my data and did a fresh install. Seems to be working great now.
